Covalent chromatography. Preparation of fully active papain from dried papaya latex.

1. A Sepharose-(glutathione-2-pyridyl disulphide) conjugate has been prepared. 2. Its use in a new type of chromatography, covalent chromatography by thiol-disulphide interchange, is described. 3. With this technique, papain containing 1 intact catalytic site [thiol with high reactivity towards 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide (2-Py-S-S-2-Py) at pH4] per mol of protein is readily prepared both from dried papaya latex and from commercial 2xcrystallized partially active papain. 4. The catalysis of the hydrolysis of alpha-N-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester at pH6.0, 25.0 degrees C, I=0.3 by fully active papain thus prepared is characterized by K(m)=18.2+/-<0.1mm and k(cat.)=16.4+/-0.5s(-1).

Chromatography↗

Simplified gas chromatographic procedure for identification of bacterial metabolic products.

A rapid and simple procedure is described for analysis of fermentation products from anaerobic bacteria grown in glucose broth. A 1-ml sample of the culture is drained through cation-exchange resin in a Pasteur pipette. The effluent fluid is directly analyzed isothermally in a gas chromatograph for volatile fatty acids (C(2) to C(6)) as well as for lactic, pyruvic, and succinic acids. This procedure is considered to be suitable for routine use in clinical bacteriology.
